My invention relates to decorative wreaths and it is my object to produce a wreath which will be ornamental, light, cheap to produce and permanently retain its original appearance.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a face view of my improved wreath; Fig. 2 a sectional view of the structure of Fig. 1 on the line 22 thereof; Fig. 3 a fragmentary view of a wreath showing the covering in twisted, crinkled form; Fig. i a fragmentary view of a wreath showing the covering in fiat form; and Fig. 5 a fragmentary view showing the covering in crinkled form.

Ehe wreath comprises a base ring 1 of any desired size or shape, and is preferably made of paper board witha concavoconvex crosssection as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 1 and 5.

The covering 2 is preferably made of a pyroXylin material, such as cellophane, in ribbon form, and may be of any desired color, opaque or transparent. As shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 this ribbon is twisted into a crinkled, rope-like form and then wrapped around the base ring 1 with its edges overlapping, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. An ornamental spray 3, or the like, may be secured to the wreath by laying it on the partly wrapped wreath and then wrapping the ribbon over a part thereof as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The ribbon 4 may be wrapped flat around the base ring as shown in Fig. 4, with its edges overlapping, or, instead of being crinkled by twisting, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 it may be crinkled by pulling it through a small ring 6 as shown in Fig. 5, the ribbon 5 being shown passing through the ring on its way to the base ring 1.

This results in a wreath which permanently presents a sightly appearance and which is light and quickly and cheaply produced so that it may be sold very cheaply.
